E-Commerce

Involves distributional consumption, implying that final consumption is contingent to delivery to the consumer. As such, e-commerce is related to new forms of demands and new forms of urban distribution with a growth in the home deliveries of parcels. Large online retailers such as Amazon and Flipkart have been able to capture a significant share of e-commerce. While the concerned volumes were relatively small, the diffusion of information technologies has impacted the urban distribution structure of retail goods. This has been accompanied by a growth of parcel deliveries but also higher rates of delivery failures (e.g. consignee not at home). Online purchases are also characterized a higher rate of returns, implying reverse distribution strategies. E-commerce is therefore shaping a new urban freight delivery system where the distribution centers of e-retailers is playing a greater role. E-commerce provides convenience and ease of access to its customers and yet, logistics is its main pain point.
